Alaska

Alaska is a non-contiguous U.S. state on the northwest extremity of North America.

Alveolar consonant

Alveolar (UK also) consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the upper teeth.

See Inuit phonology and Alveolar consonant

Assibilation

In linguistics, assibilation is a sound change resulting in a sibilant consonant.

See Inuit phonology and Assibilation

Assimilation (phonology)

Assimilation is a sound change in which some phonemes (typically consonants or vowels) change to become more similar to other nearby sounds.

See Inuit phonology and Assimilation (phonology)

Central consonant

A central consonant, also known as a median consonant, is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue.

See Inuit phonology and Central consonant

Consonant

In articulatory phonetics, a consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract, except for the h, which is pronounced without any stricture in the vocal tract.

See Inuit phonology and Consonant

Consonant cluster

In linguistics, a consonant cluster, consonant sequence or consonant compound, is a group of consonants which have no intervening vowel.

See Inuit phonology and Consonant cluster

Consonant mutation

Consonant mutation is change in a consonant in a word according to its morphological or syntactic environment.

See Inuit phonology and Consonant mutation

Continuant

In phonetics, a continuant is a speech sound produced without a complete closure in the oral cavity.

See Inuit phonology and Continuant

Dialect

Dialect (from Latin,, from the Ancient Greek word, 'discourse', from, 'through' and, 'I speak') refers to two distinctly different types of linguistic relationships.

See Inuit phonology and Dialect

Diphthong

A diphthong, also known as a gliding vowel or a vowel glide, is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable.

See Inuit phonology and Diphthong

Fricative

A fricative is a consonant produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.

See Inuit phonology and Fricative

Gemination

In phonetics and phonology, gemination (from Latin 'doubling', itself from gemini 'twins'), or consonant lengthening, is an articulation of a consonant for a longer period of time than that of a singleton consonant.

See Inuit phonology and Gemination

Glottal consonant

Glottal consonants are consonants using the glottis as their primary articulation.

See Inuit phonology and Glottal consonant

Glottal stop

The glottal stop or glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis.

See Inuit phonology and Glottal stop

Iñupiaq language

Iñupiaq or Inupiaq, also known as Iñupiat, Inupiat, Iñupiatun or Alaskan Inuit, is an Inuit language, or perhaps group of languages, spoken by the Iñupiat people in northern and northwestern Alaska, as well as a small adjacent part of the Northwest Territories of Canada.

See Inuit phonology and Iñupiaq language

Interrogative

An interrogative clause is a clause whose form is typically associated with question-like meanings.

See Inuit phonology and Interrogative

Intonation (linguistics)

In linguistics, intonation is the variation in pitch used to indicate the speaker's attitudes and emotions, to highlight or focus an expression, to signal the illocutionary act performed by a sentence, or to regulate the flow of discourse.

See Inuit phonology and Intonation (linguistics)

Inuinnaqtun

Inuinnaqtun (natively meaning 'like the real human beings/peoples'), is an Inuit language.

See Inuit phonology and Inuinnaqtun

Inuit grammar

The Inuit languages, like other Eskimo–Aleut languages, exhibit a regular agglutinative and heavily suffixing morphology. Inuit phonology and Inuit grammar are Inuit languages.

See Inuit phonology and Inuit grammar

Inuit languages

The Inuit languages are a closely related group of indigenous American languages traditionally spoken across the North American Arctic and the adjacent subarctic regions as far south as Labrador.

See Inuit phonology and Inuit languages

Inuktitut

Inuktitut (syllabics ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ; from, 'person' + -titut, 'like', 'in the manner of'), also known as Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, is one of the principal Inuit languages of Canada. Inuit phonology and Inuktitut are Inuit languages.

Labial consonant

Labial consonants are consonants in which one or both lips are the active articulator.

See Inuit phonology and Labial consonant

Lateral consonant

A lateral is a consonant in which the airstream proceeds along one or both of the sides of the tongue, but it is blocked by the tongue from going through the middle of the mouth.

See Inuit phonology and Lateral consonant

Manner of articulation

In articulatory phonetics, the manner of articulation is the configuration and interaction of the articulators (speech organs such as the tongue, lips, and palate) when making a speech sound.

Mid central vowel

The mid central vowel (also known as schwa) is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.

See Inuit phonology and Mid central vowel

Minimal pair

In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, spoken or signed, that differ in only one phonological element, such as a phoneme, toneme or chroneme, and have distinct meanings.

See Inuit phonology and Minimal pair

Nasal consonant

In phonetics, a nasal, also called a nasal occlusive or nasal stop in contrast with an oral stop or nasalized consonant, is an occlusive consonant produced with a lowered velum, allowing air to escape freely through the nose.

Palatals are consonants articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).

See Inuit phonology and Palatal consonant

Palatalization (sound change)

Palatalization is a historical-linguistic sound change that results in a palatalized articulation of a consonant or, in certain cases, a front vowel.

See Inuit phonology and Palatalization (sound change)

Phoneme

In linguistics and specifically phonology, a phoneme is any set of similar phones (speech sounds) that is perceptually regarded by the speakers of a language as a single distinct unit, a single basic sound, which helps distinguish one word from another.

See Inuit phonology and Phoneme

Phonology

Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages systematically organize their phones or, for sign languages, their constituent parts of signs.

See Inuit phonology and Phonology

Place of articulation

In articulatory phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is a location along the vocal tract where its production occurs.

See Inuit phonology and Place of articulation

Plosive

In phonetics, a plosive, also known as an occlusive or simply a stop, is a pulmonic consonant in which the vocal tract is blocked so that all airflow ceases.

See Inuit phonology and Plosive

Prosody (linguistics)

In linguistics, prosody is the study of elements of speech that are not individual phonetic segments (vowels and consonants) but which are properties of syllables and larger units of speech, including linguistic functions such as intonation, stress, and rhythm.

See Inuit phonology and Prosody (linguistics)
